9. My biggest fears&wishes what comes to kimonos

10. My biggest inspirations in kimonos

11. My kimono collection

12. The evolution of my kitsuke

So what's my favorite items?

 
I really like the pattern is subtle and yet something happens, and it has a structure which gives a touch of elegance and quality, and so it is reversible. 

This is one of the kimono I have that I enjoy to look at, think it is very beautiful with it`s bold, highly visible flower and stribes, the clear separation of the colors red, blue and white.

and this one too... to look at, it is way too small for me...  ant it beautiful

And this one.. made of linen, probably the most used kimono I have, because with a pair of jeans I use it in everyday life ; )

Of my Obi`s I really like this one, it`s a summer chuya, I like that the Patten is airy and made in a way so that it is easy to make a nice musubi.

This is a Hanabana I like the fishpattern and the kind of rough texture it have

Newmade Han-eri in use

So my former tablecloth has become a beautiful Han-eri, as least I think.

12. The evolution of my kitsuke

My father's interest in Japanese / Asian food and "health understanding/thinking", I guess was the first way into a world of art and style, for me drawings was the thing and through this the thoughts/spirit behind, and then color - materials - clothing.

After a trip to tokyo it expanded and I bought some kimonos, only for display on the wall or to remodel (which I never did).

Search, purchase and curiosity, I began to grow an interest for the actual kitsuke itself as something I could do too, an interst wich is quite new.


My first attemt in yukata and kimono are like this: 

my package arrived - so much stuff

So my surface package has arrived, like Christmas it has been, will uploade pix tomorrow, have divided everything for me to keep, selling and giveaway. 

For the selling I have made myself a Etsy account, had to give up ebay, since Denmark do not have its own ebay, I tried ebay.com, would not accept my shipping, thought I could write the shipping i the text like I hav seen others do, but no  : (


This stuff I have chosen for myself:

Fore something else present and stuf:

These and more are for selling on Esty
